I have a pic of me, aged about 2, astride Dad's BSA 650. Similar to yours, newer housing in the background.

Not necessarily dismantled....they often get converted to cargo. My uncle is doing a bunch of A330s at the moment.

Passenger planes spend most of their life in the sky and fuel is their biggest cost. Cargo planes do one or two flights a day and spend 80% of their life on the ground, so it's more cost effective to buy old passenger planes and stomach the higher fuel cost.
